I FOREWORD “HOW TIME FLIES ...” Sparkling seconds filled with activity fleet by during each school year. Minutes of friendship, play, and work that will never return. Our only hope is that this Mingo Chito will help you slow the hands of time and attempt to recapture those precious moments of the past. MINGO CHITO STAFF TABLE OF CONTENTS Dedication Staff Administration Classes Activities Feature Athletics Junior High Advertisers His foresight and understanding of the educational needs of our com- munity have given us a school system we can be proud of.

GILRUTH DARRINGTON C. H. HENICK L. J. WISE T. H. NORMAN FRANK M. PATTY PRESIDENT I express my grateful appreciation to the 1950 staff of the Mingo Chito and the student body for the splendid book you have published this year. You are living in a dangerous, important period of world history. Pagan hordes are again trying to crush freedom and Christian culture on this earth— purchased at tremendous human sacrifice. The decisions you make and the issues you meet will determine the destiny of your nation. May you meet the issues of tomorrow with courage and with fidelity to the principles of the Prince of Peace. May the America your generation oreserves recognize the freedom of the individual and the dignity of the human soul. I commend to you the philosophy of the great American poet, William Cullen Bryant. So iive that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, that moves To that mysterious realm, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night. Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust.............................. Like one who wraos the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.” THANATOPSIS by William Cullen Bryant Another year has passed, another senior class will graduate, another annual is here as a record of the accomplishments and activities for the year 1950-51 It is a privilege for each of us to have such a treasured possession because of hard work, thought, and effort by a fine annual staff and sponsor. It is my desire that each time a student will open the pages of this book, he will recall the happy memories spent in Yazoo High. This is a book to treasure and to keep. It will serve as a photographic memory of what will come to be some of the happiest days of your life. I hope that you will treasure it and remember with gratitude the staff, the sponsor, and the people who made it possible for you. MISS FRANCES BARLOW English MRS. ORLEANE P.

Stunned by the heavy loss of some 20-odd lettermen through graduation. Coaches “Buck” Buchanan and Harold Kelly fielded an almost completely revamped aggre- gation composed solely of underclassmen—15 juniors, 10 sophomores, and 7 frosh— a line averaging no less than 149 pounds, and a squad centered about 6 returning vets, Barrier, Wilkinson, Shepherd, Fulgham, Pugh, and Fletcher. The latter two, plagued by injuries, saw little service. In collecting their 6-5 record, the Redskins victimized teams from North Carroll- ton, Drew, Clinton, Utica, Hazlehurst, and Batesville, but were throttled by Indianola, Belzoni, Cleveland, Crystal Springs, and Canton. A trio of Yazoo’s 5 setbacks were sustained by no more than a touchdown, but 3 of 6 Indian triumphs were dealt by an identical margin. As compared to the combined opponents’ 160 points, the Chiefs collected 185 tal- lies for their efforts. Speedster Bubba Barrier, later named on the all-DVC second squad, cleated pay-land on 6 occasions, and wee Billy Rhodes did it 5 times. At the campaign’s termination, Fulgham, Wilkinson, Pugh, and Collins also landed on the all-Delta team, at honorable mention posts. Prospects for next season? The tribe drops 2 lettermen, John Book and Carroll Fletcher, through ineligibility. Twenty five returnees will be on hand, included among them the entire 1950 starting crew, (draft permitting.) What more shall we say? ACTION against Utica, as Indian quarterback “Muttonhead’ Shep- herd (30) circles enemy flank for substantial pickup. Blocker is Bubba Barrier. Yazoo took this one, 33-14. ALL ALONE, but not regretting it, is halfback Billy Rhodes, seen here concluding a 10-odd yard scoring jaunt against Hazlehurst. Yazoo took the decision, 12-7, in John Book, Right Guard r Billy Rhodes, Right Half v Rex Nowlin, Left Half The bit of action shown above actually hap- pened.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Here in the Southland where girls’ basketball is accentuated on an almost equal basis with the boys’ game, Yazoo’s Indianettes have found an ideal setting to com- pile one of the most impressive records in Mississippi history. Over a three year span, ranging from ’47 through ’49, Yazoo City had won 67 out of 75 decisions. Then, last season, finishing in a blaze of glory, Coach Margaret Hes- ter, assisted for the past two campaigns by Sabin Rush, hit the jackpot—Mississippi's Class A championship. And now, in 1951, the Indianettes have rolled to 15 consecutive triumphs and their third successive Delta Valley Conference title. Sparked by co-captains Rosie Norman, guard, and forward Nora Dykes, who has averaged 25 points per contest this season, the local lassies have toppled squads from Clinton, Canton, Benton, Holly Bluff, Belzoni, Satartia, Vicksburg, Leland. West Tallahatchie, Cleveland, and Bentonia. Three other team members, Ellen Shackelford, Rubye Smith, and Barbara Strick- lin were named on an all-D. V. C. team along with Dykes and Norman. Smith, Dykes, and Norman also were chosen on the all-Mississippi aggregation this year. At present, the Indianettes are preparing for the Region Six Tourney, which may well determine their chances for another State crown. Through graduation the Indianettes lose forwards Nora Dykes, Peggye Falkner. Jean Stricklin, and guard Rosie Norman.

BOYS’ BASKETBALL As this data is processed for publication, Yazoo’s Indians hold a .600 per cent 9-6 record, and are preparing to compete in the Region Six A-A A Tournament. Coach Harold Kelly, one-time star with Mississippi’s Rebels, has assembled an ag- gregation composed almost solely of underclassmen—the lone exception is 6’3” all- DVC center, Hubert Wilkinson. As far as individuality goes, Wilkinson has been the workhorse. Out of 558 Red- skin buckets in the campaign’s first 14 duels, he has tallied 168 points; 5’9” Billy Shepherd has scored 104. In the Delta Valley Conference Meet, Yazoo toppled Indianola, 40-29, but fell to first-seeded Batesville, loop champs, 50-34, in a semi-final match. The Braves have dealt dosses to Belzoni (2), Benton (3), Bentonia, Indianola, and Canton, losing to Clinton, Vicksburg (2), Batesville, Satartia, and Crystal Springs. Regional, South Mississippi, and State competition are slated beyond our dead- line: therefore results are not obtainable. Robert Pugh, Guard Hilary Barrier, Guard ACTION below occurred in Ya- zoo’s 53-27 shellacking of peren- nial foe, Canton. Graceful shoot- er is Robert Pugh, tense |Com- panion is Sim Liddon.

Third row: Cagle, Shepherd, Fletcher, Cheatham, Johnston, Coach Kelly. 1950 Yazoo City High’s baseball Indians, in the sport’s fourth year of local pre-war op- eration, terminated their regular ’50 campaign with a 5-5 seasonal record. Finishing third in the new six-team Yazoo-Madison League, composed of squads from Benton, Flora, Yazoo City, Canton, Satartia, and Bentonia, the Tribesmen wal- loped the latter two aggregations on a pair of occasions, dropped a duo of skirmishes to the former two, and split with Canton, winning at home, but losing abroad. Coach Harold Kelly loses catcher Barrack, perhaps Mississippi’s standout school- boy maskman for ’50, outfielders Wilkinson, Johnston, Orsborn, and Cheatham, pitchers Woodruff and Fletcher, the latter to the armed services, and infielders Hola- day and Coleman. Prospects for the 1951 season rest solely on the possibilities of locating a formidable moundsman. Clarence Wilkinson, with a scintillating .413 mark, copped the batting trophy, pur- sued closely by Chuck Barrack with a .406, Hubert Wilkinson with a .395, Whitey Johnston with a .380, and Mutt Shepherd with a .350. Pitcher Woodruff tallied a 3-2 showing, southpaw Fletcher a 2-3 record. 1950 BASEBALL RECORD Yazoo City________6 — 3 Yazoo City.......1 — 1 Yazoo City.........21—19 Yazoo City________9 — 5 Yazoo City.......1 — 3 Canton 5—12 Flora 8 —5 Bentonia 4 —1 Satartia 7 —1 Benton 3 —9 Bullpen crew Milner, Coach Kelly, Fletcher m ijy •rr.

Rosie Norman, one of Mississippi’s standout girl athletes, continued to dominate the local as well as the state scene. Capturing three events, the broad jump, the fifty, and seventy-five yard dashes in the Regional meet, she advanced to the South Miss- issippi, and finally to the State, where she won the broad jump and placed in the 50-yard contest. Robert Pugh, the other State entry, placed fifth in the shot-put; Flint Liddon and Nolan Harrell also advanced to the South Mississippi meet.
